Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights above. Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly hosts. Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars. Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭148‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Put aside your fears and come to me. Allow my healing t reach into those broken places and release wholeness. I am what you need. Do not be fearful, but step forward.

On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands. When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved. After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up before them and said: “Men, you should have taken my advice not to sail from Crete; then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss. But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭27‬:‭19‬-‭22‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Don't allow those storms in your life guide nor distract you. Turn from your quiet complaining and use this time to come closer to me. Reach out and find my safety. Come and sit before me and be cleaned. Watch for me. I will guide you in the ways you should go. I will demonstrate my love.

“Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They answered, “No,  we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” So Paul asked, “Then what baptism did you receive?” “John’s baptism,” they replied. Paul said, “John’s baptism  was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming  after him, that is, in Jesus.” On hearing this, they  were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. ‭‭Acts‬ ‭19‬:‭2‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Be honest and allow me into your life. You can't hide your fears or failures from me. I already know them and yet my love is ever-available for you. Come and sit with me. Learn of my ways. Allow my peace and healing to cover you. My Spirit is there. Follow the leading. My hands will guide you in my direction for your life.

Now Elisha had been suffering from the illness from which he died. Jehoash king of Israel went down to see him and wept over him. “My father! My father!” he cried. “The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” Elisha said, “Get a bow and some arrows,” and he did so. “Take the bow in your hands,” he said to the king of Israel. When he had taken it, Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands. “Open the east window,” he said, and he opened it. “Shoot!” Elisha said, and he shot. “The Lord’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram!” Elisha declared. “You will completely destroy the Arameans at Aphek.” Then he said, “Take the arrows,” and the king took them. Elisha told him, “Strike the ground.” He struck it three times and stopped. The man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times; then you would have defeated Aram and completely destroyed it. But now you will defeat it only three times.” Elisha died and was buried. ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭13‬:‭14‬-‭20a‬ ‭...

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Hear the sound of my voice and come with me. Listen to my leading you. Do not be fearful. That shows your focus is not upon me, but the circumstances. Extend yourself to others. Let my healing flow forth from your words. Help them see they are safe with me.

Lord, what is man, that You care for him, the son of man, that You think of him? Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow. Lord, part Your heavens and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke. Flash Your lightning and scatter the foe; shoot Your arrows and rout them. Reach down from heaven; rescue me from deep water, and set me free from the grasp of foreigners whose mouths speak lies, whose right hands are deceptive. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭144‬:‭3‬-‭8‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ Look ahead and past the coming storms. You can find your security in me. Don't become distracted by those small things. Be focused upon me and my direction for your life. I give you freedom. Walk out your dreams. I have planted them within you. Now allow them to grow. Walk forward with me.

Be serious! Be alert! Your adversary the Devil Is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour. Resist him and be firm in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are being experienced by your fellow believers throughout the world. Now the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will personally restore, establish, strengthen, and support you after you have suffered a little. The dominion belongs to Him forever. Amen. ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬-‭11‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ Do not fear the darkness of the enemy. Speak life and walk securely in my way. I am there with you. I am the light. Get to know me and spend time with me. I will fill you with what you need. Ask, and I will continue to show you the way you should be going.

Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “Behold now, the place before you where we are living is too limited for us. Please let us go to the Jordan and each of us take from there a beam, and let us make a place there for ourselves where we may live.” So he said, “Go.” Then one said, “Please be willing to go with your servants.” And he answered, “I shall go.” So he went with them; and when they came to the Jordan, they cut down trees. But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water; and he cried out and said, “Alas, my master! For it was borrowed.” Then the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” And when he showed him the place, he cut off a stick and threw it in there, and made the iron float. He said, “Take it up for yourself.” So he put out his hand and took it.” ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭NASB1995 Yes, I am calling to you. Come to the front. Stand and allow my light to come over you. Do not be guided by fear, but by my voice. I am the way, in me is the life. Share ...

A man came from Baal Shalishah, bringing the man of God twenty loaves of barley bread baked from the first ripe grain, along with some Heads of new grain. “Give it to the people to eat,” Elisha said. “How can I set this before a hundred men?” his servant asked. But Elisha answered, “Give it to the people to eat. For this is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat and have some left over.’ ” Then he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the Lord. ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭4‬:‭42‬-‭44‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Stop. Don't ignore them. Read the signs all about you. You are not alone. Ask for help. I am here for you. I can multiply to supply what you need. Look upward to me. Look into my eyes.

O Lord, rescue me from wicked men! Protect me from violent men, who plan ways to harm me. All day long they stir up conflict. Their tongues wound like a serpent; a viper’s venom is behind their lips. (Selah) O Lord, shelter me from the power of the wicked! Protect me from violent men, who plan to knock me over. Proud men hide a snare for me; evil men spread a net by the path; they set traps for me. (Selah) ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭140‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NET‬‬ Bring yourself to me. Sit with me, allowing my peace to come upon you. I will refresh you and place you upon the right pathway. Come to the places where I have met with you before. Allow me to meet you there again. Fill yourself with me. I have a journey for you to be going. Be ready. Be filled.

Now this is the gospel message we have heard from him and announce to you: God is light, And in him there is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him and yet keep on walking in the darkness, we are lying and not practicing the truth. But if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. ‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭7‬ ‭NET I am the light. I shine, illuminating the darkness. I show you the way to walk in freedom. Walk there with me. In my light is purity. See me clearly. I will share what you need to know. I will take you to new places.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was without shape and empty, and darkness was over the surface of the watery deep, But the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the water. God said, “Let there be light.” And there was light! God saw that the light was good, so God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” There was evening, And there was morning, marking the first day. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NET ‬‬

Therefore, since we have this ministry, just as God has shown us mercy, we do not become discouraged. But we have rejected shameful hidden deeds, not behaving with deceptiveness or distorting the word of God, but by open proclamation of the truth we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience before God. ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NET‬‬ Hear my voice and come with me. Listen to my leading you. You don't need be fearful. That shows your focus is not upon me, but the circumstances. Extend yourself to others. Let my healing flow forth from your words. Help them see they are safe with me.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled faces reflecting the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, which is from the Lord, who is the Spirit. ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭NET‬‬ This is today. If you believe, you can see me working within your life. Reach out to me, believing I will answer you. I am there with you. Follow my teaching and make disciples. Let my glory flow out from you to others.

The fifty members of the prophetic guild went and stood opposite them at a distance, while Elijah and Elisha stood by the Jordan. Elijah took his cloak, folded it up, and hit the water with it. The water divided, and the two of them crossed over on dry ground. When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “What can I do for you, before I am taken away from you?” Elisha answered, “May I receive a double portion of the prophetic spirit that energizes you.” Elijah replied, “That’s a difficult request! If you see me taken from you, may it be so, but if you don’t, it will not happen.” As they were walking along and talking, suddenly a fiery chariot pulled by fiery horses appeared. They went between Elijah and Elisha, and Elijah went up to heaven in a windstorm. While Elisha was watching, he was crying out, “My father, my father! The chariot and horsemen of Israel!” Then he could no longer see him. He grabbed his clothes and tore them in two. He picked up Elijah’s cloak, which had falle...

While Elisha was watching, he was crying out, “My father, my father! The chariot and horsemen of Israel!” Then he could no longer see him. He grabbed his clothes and tore them in two. He picked up Elijah’s cloak, which had fallen off him, and went back and stood on the shore of the Jordan. He took the cloak that had fallen off Elijah, hit the water with it, and said, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” When he hit the water, it divided and Elisha crossed over. ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭2‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NET‬‬ Listen for me. As I did with Elisha I can do with you. I will guide you in the way you should be going. I will wash away the stain that the enemy has left on you. My forgiveness brings new life. I am here for you. Call out. Listen for my leading. It is time to cross over.

The Lord delivers and vindicates me! I fear no one! The Lord protects my life! I am afraid of no one! When evil men attack me to devour my flesh, when my adversaries and enemies attack me, they stumble and fall. Even when an army is deployed against me, I do not fear. Even when war is imminent, I remain confident. I have asked the Lord for one thing – this is what I desire! I want to live in the Lord’s house all the days of my life, so I can gaze at the splendor of the Lord and contemplate in his temple. He will surely give me shelter in the day of danger; he will hide me in his home; he will place me on an inaccessible rocky summit. Now I will triumph over my enemies who surround me! I will offer sacrifices in his dwelling place and shout for joy! I will sing praises to the Lord! Hear me, O Lord, when I cry out! Have mercy on me and answer me! My heart tells me to pray to you, and I do pray to you, O Lord. Do not reject me! Do not push your servant away in anger! You are my deliverer!...

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. John 15:12-14 NIV I am with you in each step of your journey. I am there in the obvious or the sublime. You are covered by me. Leave your anger and anxiety upon my altar. Come away freshly washed and forgiven. Walk in my pathway Find the footsteps left for your journey.

Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah: “Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. You will drink from the brook, and I have directed the ravens to supply you with food there.” So he did what the Lord had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there. The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook. ‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭17‬:‭2‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Close your eyes and sit with me. Receive my peace and healing. Allow me to guide you in your journey, Follow my ways. Become whom I have created you to become. I will supply your needs in uncommon ways and methods.

After a while, the stream dried up because there had been no rain in the land. The Lord told him, “Get up, go to Zarephath in Sidonian territory, and live there. I have already told a widow who lives there to provide for you.” So he got up and went to Zarephath. When he went through the city gate, there was a widow gathering wood. He called  out to her, “Please give me a cup of water, so I can take a drink.” As she went to get it, he called out to her, “Please bring me a piece of bread.” She said, “As certainly as the Lord your God lives, I have no food, except for a handful of flour in a jar and A little olive oil in a jug. Right now I am gathering a couple of sticks for a fire. Then I’m going home to make one final meal for my son and myself. After we have eaten that, we will die of starvation.” Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go and do as you planned. But first make a small cake for me and bring it to me; then make something for yourself and your son. For this is what the ...

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭15‬-‭20‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Don't be in a hurry. Relax, sit with your eyes closed and listen to me. I will speak to you in may ways. I'll provide myself to you. Hear me. I am there with you as you read this. Now believe.

He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬-‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬ What do you hear as you take the time to listen for me? I am not the voice of accusation. I am truth and life. Follow them. Let them lead you in my way, then you  will more clearly hear me. Walk with me  where I lead you. Be filled with grace.

The Lord said to him: “I have heard the prayer and plea you have made before me; I have consecrated this temple, which you have built, by putting my Name there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there. “As for you, if you walk before me faithfully with integrity of heart and uprightness, as David your father did, and do all I command and observe my decrees and laws, I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised David your father when I said, ‘You shall never fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.’ "But if you or your descendants turn away from me and do not observe the commands and decrees I have given you and go off to serve other gods and worship them, then I will cut off Israel from the land I have given them and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name. Israel will then become a byword and an object of ridicule among all peoples. This temple will become a heap of rubble. All who pass by will be appalled and will scoff ...

The next day John was standing with two of his disciples. John saw Jesus walk by. John said, “Look! This is the Lamb of God.” When the two disciples heard John say this, they followed Jesus. ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭35‬-‭37‬ ‭GW‬‬ Let there be no power outage. Rely upon me. I am all that you need. I will help you grow in my image. I am the light. Seek me. Stop and consider the faces I've placed in your pathway this past day. Look again and pray for those I will show you. Ask me to bless them and to grant them favor. You are my extension. Walk out upon the water.

In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was already with God in the beginning. Everything came into existence through him. Not one thing that exists was made without him. He was the source of life, and that life was the light for humanity. The light shines in the dark, and the dark has never extinguished it. ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭GW‬‬ Leave your frustration with me. Place it upon my altar. As you look about, all that you see is a part of my creation. In the beginning I spoke it all into existence. I have been here from before what you know as the beginning. I was already there and still remain. Stay with me. Receive my healing and direction.

Clothe yourself in my ways and become what I already see within you. You are part of my family. Reach out to others. You are my expression. Grant them the love and peace I have shown to you.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the Lord surrounds his people both now And forevermore. The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, for then the righteous might Use their hands to do evil. Lord, do good to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart. But those who turn to crooked ways the Lord will banish with the evildoers. Peace be on Israel. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭125‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Look around you. All things are ever changing. They were created by my spoken word and have not stopped in their changing. Don't be in such a rush, but learn to appreciate and enjoy what I have provided for you. I am with you. Grow in my ways.

When the time drew near for David to die, he gave a charge to Solomon his son. “I am about to go the way of all the earth,” he said. “So be strong, act like a man, and observe what the Lord your God requires: Walk in obedience to him, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and regulations, as written in the Law of Moses. Do this so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go and that the Lord may keep his promise to me: ‘If your descendants watch how they live, and if they walk faithfully before me with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.’” ‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Surrender to me. Give me your confusion and misguided plans. I am not a God of anger. Find your peace in me. I will lead you in the way for you to be going. Come and sit with me. Receive my ways.

Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭124‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Like King David, you too can be dependent upon me. I will speak with you and grant direction.

I am there for you.

‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. I will show wonders in the heavens above And signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.

And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭17‬-‭21‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Listen to the sounds and songs all about you. Each bird sings in the way I have provided them. What of you?

Now the glory of the God of Israel went up from above the cherubim, where it had been, and moved to the threshold of the temple. Then the Lord called to the man clothed in linen who had the writing kit at his side and said to him, “Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done in it.” ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭9‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Close your eyes and listen for me. Don't allow yourself to become distracted. Come to my altar and offer your gift. Place your attention upon me. I am unchanging. My thoughts and plans for you remain. Grow in the way I will lead you.

May my cry come before you, Lord; give me understanding according to your word. May my supplication come before you; deliver me according to your promise. May my lips overflow with praise, for you teach me your decrees. May my tongue sing of your word, for all your commands are righteous. May your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen your precepts. I long for your salvation, Lord, and your law gives me delight. Let me live that I may praise you, And may your laws sustain me. I have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I have not forgotten your commands. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭169‬-‭176‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord. Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart— they do no wrong but follow his ways. You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed. Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees! ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬ I am yet the LORD, the creator of all. Listen for the sound of my voice as I direct you into the ways you should walk. Do not hesitate. I am with you. Reach out to others. Bring their salvation and Healing. Let them know of my way by the way they see you treat them and others.
